Lamb Chops with Garlic and Rosemary
- 8 (6-ounce) loin lamb chops, fat trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dry the lamb chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering.
- Lay chops in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the lamb registers 125 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
- After cooking the lamb on each side, stand it up on it's edges to brown the sides as well, about 2 minutes more.
- Reduce the heat if needed so the browned bits remaining in the pan don't burn.
- Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
- Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat from the skillet.
- Add the garlic and cook, tilting the skillet to keep the garlic submerged in the fat, and cook until golden, about 1 minute.
- Add the wine and rosemary, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer over high heat until syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by about half, another 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove pan from the heat and briskly whisk in the butter.
- When the butter has incorporated, whisk in the mustard and heavy cream.
- Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Serve 2 chops per person with the sauce.
